Day +274 : Side effect of Prednisolon - steroid

I am fine today. I spent more time in the office now. Sometimes I spent whole day in the office. I am more actively involved in the daily business.

I have been taking steroid Prednisolon daily since my transplant as a measure to combat the GVHD. Currently the dosage rate has been reduce from 2 tablets to 1.5 tables per day.

• According to document on the Wikipedia, the side effects of Prednisolon includes:
  weight gain
  facial swelling
  depression, mania, or other psychiatric symptoms
  unusual fatigue or weakness
  Mental confusion/indecisiveness
  blurred vision
  abdominal pain
  peptic ulcer
  infections
  painful hips or shoulders
  osteoporosis
  acne breakouts
  insomnia (sleeping disorder)
  severe joint pain
  cateracts

Currently I have facial swelling and acne breakouts only

The doctor start reducing my Prednisolon dosage. It can be life-threatening to stop the drug abruptly especially for those who has taken it over a long period of time. Therefore, I would expect it will take months before I can stop taking this drug.
